intel processors vary widely in heat output between single and multi-core processors, so we rely on two values which represent the upper limit of both existing cpu families to test thermal solutions. with a 150w heat load applied by the intel lga775 version of frostytech's synthetic thermal test platform, the Cooljag Falcon 92-Cu heatsink maintains a temperature of just 23.6°C over ambient (with 52.8dBA noise). For a heatsink made entirely of copper, these results are not significantly different than the all aluminum version Frostytech also tested. While the results are very good in their own right, if the base of the Falcon 92-Cu heatsink Frostytech received for testing was flatter, you can pretty much guarantee the thermal test results would have been better too. In a sense, while Cooljag does succeed with great results here, it also partially fails to realize the full potential of this design. When the speed of the 92mm PWM fan speed is reduced to 1200RPM the sound output falls to 30.9 dBA, and the heatsink maintains a 27.7°C rise over ambient. The Cooljag Falcon 92-Cu heatsink was also tested with an 85W heat load. In this case it held steady with a low 14.8°C temperature over ambient at full fan speed. As fan speed was reduced to 1200RPM, the Falcon 92-Cu maintained a rise above ambient temperature of 18.4°C. When the Cooljag Falcon 92-Cu heatsink fan is running at full tilt, it's clear that this is an excellent heatsink for LGA775 Intel and K8 AMD processor platforms. Taking into consideration the concerns about base flatness we've already discussed I think this heatsink could have performed better. Yet as it stands, we witnessed no significant differences in the end result between this unit and the Falcon 92-AL. Related Articles: For more reviews on the latest heatsinks and
